Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found in favour of the claimant on all four complaints. The unauthorised deduction from wages complaint was well-founded for the period 29 December 2023 to 14 February 2024, and the respondent was ordered to pay £1,957.20 gross. The breach of contract complaint in relation to notice pay was upheld, with £937.80 awarded as damages, and the holiday pay complaint was upheld with £1,750.56 awarded for 28 days of accrued but untaken leave.
On unfair dismissal, the tribunal held that the claimant was unfairly dismissed. The tribunal found that the respondent unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures, and applied a 10% uplift to the compensatory award under s.207A of the Trade Union & Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. The tribunal also found that the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide a written statement of employment particulars when proceedings began, and made an award equal to four weeks' gross pay, finding no exceptional circumstances to make a lower award just or equitable.
The total sum payable by the respondent to the claimant is £10,587. The Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 do not apply. Reasons were given orally; written reasons will follow only on request.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
